Mirra Andreeva Wins Roland Garros Amid Protocol Changes
Mirra Andreeva claimed the Roland Garros 2026 title as the ceremony protocol was adjusted to exclude the Russian flag and anthem due to sanctions. The young star was presented with the Suzanne Lenglen trophy by legend Mary Pierce, marking a historic victory on the Philippe Chatrier court.
Due to decisions by the International Tennis Federation regarding the war in Ukraine, no Russian symbols were displayed during the emotional ceremony. Andreeva expressed disbelief at achieving a dream she had held since childhood.
She thanked her team and coach Conchita Martinez, hoping to play in many more finals in the future.
